Dry grassland sites are amongst the most species rich habitats of Central Europe. In Switzerland, they are home to a large number of plant and animal species that are classified as endangered or threatened. A key component for designing optimal and effective management schemes ensuring the sustainability of these ecosystems, is knowledge of their biomass production. In this study we explored th...

Investigators from NIH, Hyperion Biotechnology Inc., and Hospital for Sick Children studied the effect of oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on decreasing oxidative stress increasing physical endurance in individuals with ryanodine receptor 1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM).

13 In this paper, a user-defined inter-band correlation filter function was used to resample 14 hyperspectral data and thereby mitigate the problem of multicollinearity in classification 15 analysis. The proposed resampling technique convolves the spectral dependence information 16 between a chosen band-centre and its shorter and longer wavelength neighbours. Weighting 17 threshold of inter-ban...

We perform extensive analysis on the physics of L-mode tokamak fusion reactors to identify (1) a favorable parameter space for a large scale steady-state reactor and (2) an operating point for a minimum scale steady-state reactor. The identification of the large scale parameter space is part of the 2008 MIT Nuclear Systems Design Project, which also includes sustainability and economic optimiza...

This paper focuses on evaluating the ability and contribution of using backscatter intensity, texture, coherence, and color features extracted from Sentinel-1A data for urban land cover classification and comparing different multi-sensor land cover mapping methods to improve classification accuracy. Both Landsat-8 OLI and Hyperion images were also acquired, in combination with Sentinel-1A data,...

We have developed a new and innovative technique for combining a high-spatial-resolution multispectral image with a lower-spatial-resolution hyperspectral image. The approach, called CRISP, compares the spectral information present in the multispectral image to the spectral content in the hyperspectral image and derives a set of equations to approximately transform the multispectral image into ...
